Speakers: Claudia Mason
In Claudia Mason keynote, The Unfair Advantage, Claudia shares the framework she builds and uses every day: how to map your sales system, document it as a living knowledge base, and automate the mechanics — so you can spend your best energy on the relationships that actually close deals. Her take? Women are already wired for this. Empathy, listening, and reading the room aren’t soft skills — they’re closing skills. And in a world rushing toward more automation, that’s the real unfair advantage.
Speakers: Nadia Shaikh-Naeem
What does it take for women entrepreneurs to go from idea to impact? This presentation by Nadia Shaikh-Naeem takes an honest look at the entrepreneurial journey through a woman's lens — the real challenges of accessing capital, breaking into male-dominated sectors, and earning credibility, alongside the unique strengths women bring to business, from spotting unmet market needs to making the most of targeted support programs. Drawing from real-world examples in health, construction, and workforce development, this session delivers actionable strategies for starting, investing in, and scaling ventures — paired with stories of women who turned obstacles into opportunities. Come ready for practical takeaways and leave feeling inspired.
